[> I am always surprised by the number of people who don't understand the difference between Memorial Day and Veteran's Day--they think the two days are interchangeable. Veterans Day is celebrated with fanfare. Memorial Day is observed with reverence. Inside -- JJ Ronda, 11:38:00 05/25/15 Mon

I'm grateful to all the men and women who gave their lives for the freedoms that we sometimes take for granted. Their service, dedication, and ultimate sacrifice should never be forgotten.

[> I was at the SEALs museum the sunday before Memorial Day- they have a memorial wall much like the one in DC for vietnam vets - Humbling. Yes - Memorial day is to never forget those who died so we could be free to have a day off and barbecue. -- chris k, 15:18:19 05/27/15 Wed
